Where to start
Usually motivated by play, movement and food. Use that in training and keep sessions short and rewarded.
First focus
Give strong daily exercise and mental work before training, so your dog can focus.
Next
Teach loose-leash walking and recall early, because the breed is fast and strong.
Daily habit
Practice calm alone-time habits, such as a rewarded mat settle.
Breed notes describe tendencies in a group of dogs, not your dog. Every dog is an individual, and Dogify does not assess your dog. This is general training information and not a substitute for a qualified professional.
